Michael McNair, CEO of Yes Energy commented:

“The Power Settlements acquisition will enable us to help our existing customers with a broader set of the functionality needed for day-to-day participation in the power markets, as well as support a rapidly growing number of market participants.

We can make this possible by combining Yes Energy’s robust data, analytics and forecast offerings with Power Settlements’ comprehensive market transaction services. Together, we can ensure customers have the right tools to optimize their physical and financial portfolios. Transactions are arguably the most important part of the workflow in the complex nodal markets, and working together, we believe we can provide an exceptional and reliable service for all RTOs.”
